Renew the mind

“Be in this world, but not of this world.” The pressure to conform in today’s world is still very strong, despite all the talk of being an individual. The patterns laid out in this world for you to follow were created by others, and it is your purpose to live according to your own unique pattern and dance your way through life to your own tune. Take the time to explore who you are on a deeper level, and live your life according to the purpose that you created before you were born; for each of us has an important role to play in the Divine Plan.

This piece is based on manuscript designs from the fourteenth century.

The text comes from Romans 12:2 in the Bible.
